The stop cable does not stop the fuel supply as such. It moves the control rack in the pump so the pump no longer supplies fuel to the injectors.

I don't have a close up picture of mine but the lever is around behind the pump between the engine block and the pump. I think the picture above is of a later model tractor with a mechanical govenor. Mine has a pneumatic govenor.

If yours is an early tractor put your hand behind the pump you will find the lever and there will also be a bracket for the cable towards the rear. To be honest the cable is in a dog of a place to connect.

I have a Fordson Power Major tractor and need to replace stop cable. Available parts seem to come in 2.2 & 1.5 metres. I only require 1 metre length. Is it as simple as just cutting and reducing the lead to length required?
